I tried the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, and they got me excited for the post-smartphone era


With a color display, a neural wristband, and new capabilities, the Meta Ray-Bans Display are the most advanced smart glasses consumers can buy - for now.

Kerry Wan/ZDNETThe glasses have a full operating system to take advantage of the display by allowing you to capture photos and videos, listen to music, invoke live captions during a conversation, get visual feedback for questions you ask AI, engage in WhatsApp messaging, and use AI to capture notes on important conversations. I asked for a recipe of banana bread and the AI went out to the internet and found one and then organized it into a series of cards that i could swipe through to view step-by-step. Other things the glasses can do include video calling your friends to let them see what you see and turn-by-turn walking directions (in 28 cities to start, because Meta is doing its own mapping).
